SFDX Plugin to work with Salesforce Projects. This application are entire developed using Aura Helper Framework and has powerfull commands to manage your projects, create Continous Integration and DevOps workflows and support developers to make some utils task on every project like import and export data, create package files (including from git differences), compare metadata from two orgs or from your local project and the auth org, and to much more. It is the Aura Helper CLI natural evolution to integrate better to other salesforce tools.
- Simplify your work with Salesforce and Git with the command for create packages (for deploy and delete) from git changes. Compare two branches, commits or tags for create the files for deploy your package.
- Repair file dependencies errors on your project files or Check only to resolve errors manually.
- Compress your XML Files structure for make easy identify changes and resolve git conflicts. Also need less storage and work faster.
- Retrieve special Metadata Types like profiles or permissions sets (and others) with all data without retrieve any file more with a simple command. Also can Retrieve special Metadata Types from the connected org.
- Compare your local data with your authorized organization for get the differences for delete, retrieve or anything you want. Or Compare the Metadata Types between two orgs to see the differences.
- Merge diferent package or destructive files into one file with only one command.
- Ignore any metadata type from your local project or from the package files for maintance different configuration into your sandbox and production enviroments with simple file and command.
- Specially designed for DevOps workflows.
- And much more

Metadata commands are the commands for work with your metadata files. You can compress xml files, list or describe metadata types that you have on your org or in your local project. Can compare local and org metadata or ignore some metadata types according .ahignore.json file (see Ignore File section). Also you can repair project metadata dependencies and much more. These commands are bellow two big groups. Local and Org commands. The Local commands work only with the metadata types that you have in your local project. The Org commands are commands for work with the data in your auth org.
-
Command for compress XML files for ocuppy less data storage, and make more usefull with SVC systems like Git. With XML Files compressed, the file confilcts on merges are to much easy to resolve.
-
Command for ignore some metadata types. If you use git or other SVC systems, you can construct a .gitignore file or similar for ignore some files from your SVC. But salesforce have some metadata that can't be ignored with git because have into other files, like custom labels, workflows or user permissios for example. This command allow to you to ignore this types of metadata. This command support all metadata types to ignore. (Can delete entire files and folders)
-
Command to describe all or specific Metadata Types like Custom Objects, Custom Fields, Apex Classes... that you have in your local project.

-
Command to Check or Repair dependencies errors on your local project. (Only check data and types stored in your local project, do not connect to the org)
-
ah:metadata:local:special:retrieve

Data commands are the commands to work with data stored in your orgs. You can export and import data between orgs with two simple commands. You can export related objects and import all throgth one command, and Aura Helper automatically match the record types and related objects with their parents. Don't have any salesforce limits and you can export and import all data that you need.
-
Command to export data from the project's auth org or any other org that you have access. This command use the tree:export command from sfdx with plan. If you want to resolve record types automatically on import, you must extract the field "RecordType.DeveloperName" into the query. To resolve parent-child relationship, you must extract the parent field into the childs subquery.
-
Command to import data extracted from data:export (or sfdx tree:export with a plan) and use the tree:import command from sfdx. Unlike the export command. The import command pre process the extracted data before insert to link record types if apply, save and resolve object references, and avoid the salesforce limits. To link record types automatically, you must include in the export query this field "RecordType.DeveloperName" and Aura Helper CLI automatically resolve the record types on target org. To link child objects with their parents, you must extract the parent object into the childs subqueries. Also, you can import data directly from other org.

The ignore file is a JSON file used on ignore and create package commands. On this file you can specify metadata types, objects and elements for ignore or delete from your local project or package files. You can have a main ignore file on your root project (like gitignore) named .ahignore.json for use automatically, or have different ignore files and specify it on the commands when you need tou use.
The ignore file have the next structure
{
// Basic structure
"MetadataTypeAPIName": {
"MetadataObject1",
"MetadataObject2"
}
// Advance Structure
"MetadataTypeAPIName": {
"MetadataObject1:MetadataItem1",
"MetadataObject1:MetadataItem2",
"MetadataObject2:*",
"*",
"*:*" // Only valid on Custom Objects
}
// Special for Permissions
"MetadataTypeAPIName": {
"UserPermission:MetadataObject1:PermissionName",
"UserPermission:MetadataObject2:*",
"UserPermission:*:PermissionName"
}
} {
"CustomLabels": {
"labelName1", // Ignore or remove the custom label "labelName1"
"labelName2", // Ignore or remove the custom label "labelName2",
"*" // Ignore or remove all Custom Labels
},
"AssignmentRules":{
"Case:Assign1", // Ignore or remove the Assignent Rule "Assign1" from the object Case
"Lead:*", // Ignore or remove all Assignment Rules from Lead
"*" // Ignore or remove all Assignment Rules
},
"CustomObject": {
"Account", // Ignore or remove the Account Object
"Case:*", // Ignore or remove all related objects from case, including the object (Bussines Process, Fields, Validation Rules...),
"*", // Ignore or remove all custom objects (only the object not the related metadata)
"*:*", // Ignore or remove all custom objects and the related metadata (Bussines Process, Fields, Validation Rules...)
},
"Report": {
"ReportFolder", // Ignore or remove the entire folder
"ReportFolder1:ReportName2", // Ignore or remove the report "ReportName2" from "ReportFolder1" folder.
"*", // Ignore or remove all reports.
},
"Workflow": {
"Account", // Ignore or remove the Account worflows (Rules, Task, Alerts...)
"*" // Ignore or remove all workflows (Rules, Task, Alerts...) from all objects
},
"WorkflowRule": {
"Case:*", // Ignore or remove all Workflow rules from case object
"Account:Rule1", // Ignore or remove "Rule1" from Account workflows,
"*" // Ignore or remove all Worflow rules from all objects
},

"TestProfile2", // Ignore or remove the "TestProfile" profile
"*" // Ignore or remove all profiles
}
}Some Metadata Types have singular and plural name like CustomLabels, MatchingRules, EscalationRules... For ignore or remove this types you must use the plural name, if use the singular name the ignore process not take effect with this types.
The describe metadata commands and compare commands return the metadata in a JSON format, the same format for create the package througth a JSON file. This means that the output of the describe or compare commands can be used as input for create the package from JSON file. The next structure are the full JSON structure file:
